I am going away, mother, I'm going away from you, To dwell with hiui I lovo, mother, And one who loves mo true; At least ha tells Die so, mother, , And calls me all his own, Eutwiues his arms around my ncct, And talks in lover's tone. But yet I weep and mourn, mother, To leave this dear old cot, Where you were born and I, mother, And it cannot be forgot, Fur many happy years I've spent la roaming o'er tho fields, In gathering flowers for garlands fair Oh! to memory must I yield. He tells me of his city home, Of servants neat and trim, Of his mother and his sisters gay, Who nlways list to him. And ho 6ays that I shall bo, mother, Tho gayest of tho gay, Shall be as hnppy as a lark Could bo from day to day. But I feel an undefined dread Of nil this glittering show, I cannot tell from whence it comes Oh! tell me if you know. But.mother, you will never. forget Your child that's gone away, But think of me, your lonely one You will, O mother, say? Think not, my mother, that my lovo For him is growing less, Oh, nul I lovo him tenderly, And my lovo will never cease. Yet mother, I feel sadly now, To think of leaving you; But ho will try to fill your place. And bo my husband, too. But, gnnd-byo, mother, we must go, May blessings eer rest On you, who's been my faithful guido, And taught me what was best! I'm going onward through tho world (To you my tale I tell,) I'm ging with tho one I love, So, mother dear, farewell! For tho Republican, To tho Robin. BY HATTIK H Sweet warb'lor of tho wodlnnd wild, With joy wo wolenme thy return; i'or off wo missed thy morry notes, When winter did our joys beguile. But when tho tyrant Winter's locks, Aro shaken by tho hand of spring; 'Tis then you learo th sunny south, And tako your roign with us again. Tho gurgling stream and studded glen, Thy praises waft from hill to dale; Whoro e'er you go, where ere thou ai l, Wo welcomo you back to us again. But when dreary winter's chilling blast Again shall drive thes from tho glen; Forsake us not but with the spring, Will welcome you back to us again. Sfligioita Sntdligfiire.

Mr. Clark, Principal of tho Bobek Seminary, writes December li A 1858: Wo have r'ehly enjoyed n season of refresh, ing from tho presence of tho Lord. Ho has indeed visited us by tho wonderful power of His Divine Spirit. An tmincnthj spiritual work has been witnessod by us, such as I have not before known in this land; a work presenting precisely tho samo characteristics which belong to tho groat revival which God has been carrying forward during the past year in America. 1 Dr. D wight, in January, adds: "Tli3 pious students, full of love and zeal, went forth among tho neighlioiing churches, to labor chiefly among church members. Ono of them went to Broosa, and wo learn from Mr. Barntun, who is there studying tho Turkish languago, thai a revival has actually com menced, tho church members being greatly stirred up to confess their sins and ptay, and somo among tho impenitent were awakened. A few already, it is hoped, hare given their hearts to tho Savior." A fow days later ho stales; "There was a wonderful revival going on horo among tho girls in a Jewish school, under the teaching oftho Freo Scotch Church missionaries. Twelve or moio Jewesses have been hope fully converted, and in a most remarkable manner. We have commenced a daily prayer meeting, held at noon, in a room in Vezir Khan, not 'ar from tho bazaars. Wo hope that many of our brethren, who aro in business, will be induced to attend." lie speaks of hopeful appoaraoco in Constantinople, and sends an account of spirited progtess in other places in that region. Kcv. J. Ball, Yozgat, January luth, 1S59, says: " Tho Lord i3 blessing us by His Spirit.and in our little community (about CO) there is scarcely ono that is not awakened. Thero havo been threo or four hopeful conversions within a few days. Tray for us." illSSCELLANKOUS. As Uncommon Suiipiiise Pabty. It is not uncommon lor members ot a Uiurch and congregatipn to meet thoir own pasture at his house, and offer their gifts and express thoir sympathy and high regard for hiinl but tho following is rare; Bev. Joseph Burnett, recently pastor of tho Third Baptist Church at Xorth Stonington, Conn., being about to romovo to Lyme, in the samo State, was unexpectedly visited by a goodly company of his Congregational frionds, consist ing of tho pastor, tho deacons, and a numbor ol other prominont members of the Congro gational Church. They cama to mako thoir parting visits and leave their parting gifts.cx-pressivo of their kind regard and Christian fellowship. Their donations equaled those they mado to their own pastor, a few eveings previous. Beforo they separated, both pastors united in a social worship, feeling that, though of different denominations, thoy were all ono in Jesus Christ. Another: At Ipswich, Mass.,cno stormy evening last week, tho door boll of tho Methodist parsonago was rung, when in individual was found at tho door, who, presenting small packngo, hastily withdrew. ' The pack-ago contained a beautiful silver goblet, of the value of snmo twenty dollars, and fifty dollars in bank bills, a gift to the pastor from a largo circlo of friends. This was a surpriso, without tho usual accomplishment of trespass and trouble 03" Tho Bcvs. Alcinous M. Young and Jonas M. Dodge, zealous clergymen of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, died at Lawrence, Kansas, within three days of each other, the former on the loth, and tho latter on the 8ih of March. Their ages were respectively 31 and 53 years. Pkrsecutio! is New Mexico, A Baptist journal states that soino of their mission-; rios in Now Mexico aro meeting with open and violent persecution, through the instigation ef Uoman Catholic priests, llev. J. M. Shaw, of Socorro, writes: Open persecution has begun in earnest, and I am not sura of my lifo a day, but we try to bo prepared for tho worst. Last Saturday, as I was preaching, I was attacked by a mob set on by the priests, and stoned, and driven from my stand, amidst shouts and stonos, and firing of guns. I roccived several Bhotg from tho guns, but only ono did mo harm. When Ireaehcd the public road, I commenced preaching again, amid a shower of stunts, expecting to fall a martyr for the truth, but God mirao-ulously preserved mo.

Kansas Letter. Liss Co., K. T. Feb'y 28, 150. Mn. CAKE:-r-6Vc: Your favor of the 18th ult c inw to hand on the 10th inst. Being iust then about to start from homo to 1 e -ono some ten or twelve days, this was almost ueccessarily delayed un' til my return. . You call my attention to a lottor in tho Dtinnor puipming to bo from C. F. Drake, d:ited Fort Scott, December, 1853, in which Mr. D. claims to givo a strictly true and impartial statement of tho troubles in Lin and Bourbon counties, and especially of the rclcnse of Ben. Bice fro7a prison in Fort Hcutt. Without casting any suspicion upon tho writer's motive, or integrity, farther that of par-tizan bias, and evident prcjudico, it is here humbly suggosted, that his account is in soue ro-fpects, defective from important oini.wonsi in other cases facts are distorted by exaggerations.Tho writer docs not toll, that tho releaso of Rice was discusstd and determined upon by a nearly two-tMrds vote in a largo public mooting hold somo days beforo tho release took place. It slipped his momory that the Fort I Scotters were told beforehand that nothing further than tho roleaso of Bice, whom the rescuers held to ba illegally and unjustly im prisoned, was intended. Tho reports of pro voking threats, on tho part of tho brve de fenders, of tho bloody work they were determined to make, in case a rescue was attempted. a-.i amongst thorn, that llico should die in his chains bofore he could be freed, was doubt-loss forgotten. And why wore the good readers oftho Banner not informed that those same Avkn&oricmiimonced thtfiring whilst concealed in tho store of Mr. Little, (whoso son was killed,) wcunding two of Iho rescuors before a Rhot was fired at tho houso? He also omits the fact that there were other stores in tho town of Fort Scott, from which thero was no tiring, which wero left unmolested. It is a wonder that men of such unexceptional principles, "armed sostrong in honesty,'' conscious of their own integrity and the righteousness of their cause, armed, organized and fortified as tho Fort Scotters wero, would suffer themselves to bo wholly ovor-powered by a few Jjruded wreUhct," such as tho writer calls tho re;uers; for the cow ardliness of such "degraded wm" has long since pawied into a proverb. Other men who stood listening to Mont gomery's remarks that morning in Fort Scott say they failed altogether in hearing tho lan guage whica tho writer attributes to him when he said "it was his intention and deter mination to drivo out of t!i e country, or kil an men who did not endorse Ins views. That he never would ba governed by any laws that aro passed by any one but himself." Montgomery certaiuly was oxeited when ho spoke tneso words. Although he is a roaarkably cool and smooth speakixg man, evon in the midst of danger, ho undoubtedly lost all self-possession just then. "It may do to tell tho marines," or poopla who depend upon the Banner fur information, that Montgomery has a company of ono hundred, or any other number of men, with whom hogoos about plundering, robbiug, murdering &c; but persons living here in tho county, where these things wero said to havo trans, pired, know that the story is untruo. Alont-gomery has had no band or company of men sinco tho oth of July, '58. The robbing ana driving off, last full and winter, was dono by six men, Montgomery ueiiig at nomo and about his own business all the while. This robbing aud driving off, was cuntmed to a lew pro-slavery men who had been driven off previously I'or their crimes, and a few others who professed either lice stata or pro slavery principles just as polr, lor the time being, sosmed to require, and who uudertook to say that all those obnoxious pro-slavery lueu might como back to live, ut tho samo tiiuo using every influence they could to coax them back, telling them thut they con,1 and would defeiul them. And farther that they wero determined to indict, convict and punish all who were engaged in driving off pro-slavery men tho previous whiter aud spring, notwithstanding tho Deuver Compromise, which provided i effect, that if the freo state boys would ceuso hostilities, and disband their companies, they should bo virtually par doned for what had thon already bceudonc,. in tho way or driving oil obnoxious pro-ilav- eryincn. I his was an assurance oralfo itiv- eu, IjyUov. Denver and the Judges both in public and in private, but not being reduced to writing, Us fullillmont d 'pended upon tho nonor of tho parties. Tho fre stata mnn would not agree lo a proclamation of antral amnesty as that would havo shielded the cold blooded muiderors of Dentor. and Ilendrick who lived near Fort Scott, and those pro-slav ery villains who at Chotcau's Trading Post, without provocation, killed five 'reostato men, aqd wounded Uvk others; one escnpod by leigninguoaui, his clothes being covered with blood from these who stood on each side o him. They wero all robbed, and only left by the pro slavery bounds when they t elieved them every one dead. J he operations of tho freo state boys the previous winter and spring being confined to driving off pro-slavery men who participated in the villainies of '51, '5j, and '50, with such other pro-shvors as undertook to uphold and, defend thoso oiaor.iout ones, they would ndt agree to tho judicial blotting out of all crime- jrrowwg out of politics, Trading Post -nassacie and all, but were willing to lay dor .', their rifles, and cease thoir work ot driving out, provided they would not be bar awed with writs rid prosecutions for what the had already dono, leaving thoso brutal , bles thoy could get, which belonged to anti-murderers still amonable. lleneo an arrango-' slavery people, nil of which acts woio sought ment wasi made, abovo termed the Denver j to be justified on theg round that tho persons Compromise, without a proclamation ofycu- against whom thoy were committed, were eral amnesty by the Governor. ! "Abolitionists," or as mora commonly spo- This Compromise was inado in Juno last, kon 'l ( AMitioniste." Poisons may and was succesded by undisturbed quiot un- bo mot, evon now, who when told of somo til tho latter part of Octobor, and might havo anti-slavery man having his house burned, his emainca so, but for tho attempt of a few demagogues and hungry lawyers who sought to bring back all the expelled pro-slavery men and drag tho free stato boys, who had sent inoin oil into the courts, whilst the pro-slav- cry villains, who carried on thoir woik of usuu'.'wn, robbery, nnrUcr and driving off of free state men hero in 54, '53. and '5tl. with tho plotters of election frauds in '57 and '53, and tho enactors in the more recent Demon, Hendricks and Trading Post tragedies, would all go aatU ficc. It was, (as has sinco came out,) very well understood in Western Missouri, that the object in coaxing back tho expelledpro-sluv-ery men and so many others ot Southern sentiments as could bo induced to come, was to swell tho numbers of the projected Djinocratie- slavcry party, so as to ba able to carry several ccuntus in Southern Kansas. Tho attempted assassination ot Montgomery in his own house, the finding of a few indictments in violation ol the spirit of the Compromise which procured peace in June, and in contravention ul the gist cf Judge Williams's charge to the Grand Juries, was to tho leaders of theDemocratic-co-slavery party, tho beginning of a greal wort; in prospect, which would probably give them party triumph and put themselves in placo and power, and by dextrous management, it might make a slave stato of Kansas after all. To get a correct id?a of Kansas troubles, even at the present time, it is always necccs-sary, to recur constantly to their origin. It is always to bo remembered, that previous to tha arrival of any settlers from the free statesi throats of violence against all anti-slavery men wore rife throughout Western Missouri. These threats wero shortly afterwards repeated in tha Territory. TLo pro-slavery party, then in tho Territory and in Western Missouri, took the extraordinary ground that anti-slavery men, slioull not settle here. This position and tho accompanying threats were not ilio mere rant of hot headed politicians, hut were the delibcralu and premeditated expressions of large and self-stlyed dignified public mcoUngs. During tho month of Juno, '51, loss than a month after tho repeal of the Missouri Cora-promise, tho Salt-Creek Valley Squatter's Association, formed ostensibly for the protection of sqtiattors, without which protection no settler could sustain himself, it was 'Resolved that wo will afford protection to no abolitionists as settlers of Kansas Ter." (See Report of the Investigating Committee, page 051.) The sama resolution was passed at Whitehead, K. T., Juno 24, '51"by a largo and enthusiastic public mooting," ibid, page 957. At tho town of Atchison, in a public mooting held July,'53, one of the resolutions reads: "liosolvod, that wo havo commenced tho good work of purging our town of all resident abolitionists, and after cleansing our town ol all such nuisances, we shall do the sama with tho settlers on Walnut and Imle-1 pendenco creeks, whoso propensities for cat-tlo stealing aro well kn jwn to many," ibd. paga 1)01. In a larga public meeting iu the city of L3avenworth, held May, '55, it was "Unsolved, that a vigilanco committee consisting of thirty members, shall now be appointed, who shall observo and report all such persons as shall openly act in violation of law and order, by the expression of abolition sentiments, produce disturbance to the quiet of tho cilizens or danger to their domestic relations, and all such persons so offending, shall ba notified and made to leave the territory." ibd, 0G1. Tho above, arc but samples of tho many resolutions passed both in the Territory and in Western Missouri during those throe years of usurpation and outrage. In Wcs- turn Missouri thero was not even tho hum-blest public dissent frcm such resolutions. No uno could there, eveu in private, with mUg, express any decided opposition tu tho will ol the majority, or utter any doubts of the jus-tico of the violent and tyrrnii-al measures everywhere employed to drivo off, and kept awiy, anti-slavery nieu. All this time, tho pro-slavery orators and pipers wero cngiged in puling forth violent abuse, denouncing all men who nnnn4ifl nN. I vory as eitlur knaves or villain?. Whilst such wero the public or open antecedents and ac companiments, of the usurpation and first violence in Kansas, mere was a numerous organization extending throughout Missouri to other slave States, and into tha Territory, having secrete oaths, signs, grips and passwords, possessing and wielding a lirgo amount of means, in men and woncy, professedly for the purpose of driving and lerpiug all anti-slavery men from tho Territory, and causing the samo lobe creeled into a slave Stato. It is, in a great degree, tho workings ol this secret organization, or more properly, conspiracy against the liberty of the people. that th first hostile assemblages and all arm ed invasions of tho Territory, are to hero-. for red. TIikso hostile assemblages and arm ed invasions carried elections by forcible, fraudulent voting, drove out hundreds of poor settlers simply because they were opposed to slavery; for the same reason they rubbed and burned houses, sacked towns, (iu tome in stances reducing AliOJ to ashes,) turning out woman and children to the mercies of the el ements in an almost unbroken wildenuss country. They can ied "away the domestic amimals, and took whatever money or valua 1859. team taken, or being shot dead, whilst pass ing the road, as tho case might bo, will ex claim, "whi. he ivat a d d alnHtionisl!'' , stcring with manifest astonishment, that any j ono could think it criminal to do any such i thing to thoso who deny the righteousness ol slavery. I Another instruir.ontalitr. no less umuu pulous aud far more potent than the Blue Lodges, grew out of tho invasion of March, 30, '53 viz, tho Bogus Legislature and its dependent; tho Lecompton Constitution. 'Jhe character of tho former may bj briefly told in tho word Usurpation, that of tho latter, in tho word Conspiracy. That l ho lloiis legislature was elected by men then living in Missouri was rr.riwe (. in part, of men who lived thuro at the time, havo over since, jnd do still livo there, are facts, which have been so often pioved are so well known here and in Missouri, that to cito evidence of litem now, would be stiiior- fluotis. It is equally notorious, that the do ings uf that usurping buJy, were in keeping with tho violent and villainous manner in which it was chosen. By its enactment every officer in tha Territory was either directly or indirectly appointed by itself, even down to a deputy constable. These appointments held over two caneial elections, l! challenged no one could voto without swearing to support the Fugitive Slave Bill, (Sec Bogus No. 1, page 33 J. No person cuuld practice as an attorney, or fill any ollicc whatever oftho Territory, without taking the j SiU1U) cxceptiomblo oath. No person could 'serve as ajuror whero their follow ciiizn ,fu3 arranged under tha famou-t slavo act, j unless ha would swear that he had no con scienoions scruples against holding shivcs,ibd. 132,332,330,510. This same slave act, punishes as felony.th,- simple act ot denial, either by speaking or I writing, of thereof persjns tohvld slave in this Territory, The penalty is imprisonment at hard labor for a term not less than two years. Iho same penalty is nflixed to! printing, writing, introducing into, orciicu lilting, either directly or indireclly, any pa per, magazine, rircular.pamphlet or bonk emi-tainingany denial of the right to hold si aves in this Territory, ibd. 717. This act, contains several other penalties equally unrenson-abloand cruel.thus taking away at ono sweep, tho liberty of speech, the freedom of the press, ard the right of a fair trial by jury, in addition to the act cilcd above which disfranchised a large numlier of conscientious citizens. The abovo aro hut samples from tho many cruel statutory provisions, and excessive penalties. It is worthy of nofo, that the pro-slavery party according to their men hawing, have carriod cvory election held in the Territory which they owned was legal or riyW, (except hat for township and county olluors last spring,) until tho Constitutional election hist. Aiiguts. After it bfcamo a little d ingorous for armed bands of Mis-ourians, to come ever here and voto, they hit upou another i xpedi-ent, that of returning falsa po'.l bonks, such as was returned from Oxford precinct in John- son Utility, Oct., '57, and that of tho Delaware Crossing Jan., -5-.

Tho people of Kansas have not yet rurgoten the strenuous efforts made by tho Federal lix-cutivo and tho Representatives and Senators of his party in Congress to force that b.u e Lecompton plot upon us without a submission. When tho inhuman rebellion act, the "dious gag bill, and apprcssivo disfranchisement bill failed to cower and overcome the j spirit of freedom, it was then sought to un dermine and billlo it by a partial and fraudulent registration of tho votcrs.backed up by an endorsement of Congress, and the machination of a corrupt slavery serving President.Koine persons a.sk, why continue to oppose tho Slavery party in Kansas when vou have so often beaten them at the ballot box and ilh cartridge box? They will stwii give up the contest if they havo not already done so So preached tho samo wise-acres three years ago, yet we have had a continued scries of outrages and vtlu plots from that time to tho present, calculated to strike terror into the minority of the people oil the 0110 hand, and difcat their sovereign will upon the other.

That it is but little inoro than a year since a numbr' of citizens weio apprehended aod imprisoned in Fort Ssott, under the bloody rebellion act, for simply organizing themselves to protect theii ballot box, against a threatened raid from Mitsouii, in October, 1857.

But yet I weep and mourn, mother, To leave this dear old cot, Where you were born and I, mother, And it cannot be forgot, Fur many happy years I've spent la roaming o'er tho fields, In gathering flowers for garlands fair Oh! to memory must I yield. He tells me of his city home, Of servants neat and trim, Of his mother and his sisters gay, Who nlways list to him. And ho 6ays that I shall bo, mother, Tho gayest of tho gay, Shall be as hnppy as a lark Could bo from day to day. But I feel an undefined dread Of nil this glittering show, I cannot tell from whence it comes Oh! tell me if you know. But.mother, you will never. forget Your child that's gone away, But think of me, your lonely one You will, O mother, say? Think not, my mother, that my lovo For him is growing less, Oh, nul I lovo him tenderly, And my lovo will never cease. Yet mother, I feel sadly now, To think of leaving you; But ho will try to fill your place. And bo my husband, too. But, gnnd-byo, mother, we must go, May blessings eer rest On you, who's been my faithful guido, And taught me what was best!

Mr. Clark, Principal of tho Bobek Seminary, writes December li A 1858: Wo have r'ehly enjoyed n season of refresh, ing from tho presence of tho Lord. Ho has indeed visited us by tho wonderful power of His Divine Spirit. An tmincnthj spiritual work has been witnessod by us, such as I have not before known in this land; a work presenting precisely tho samo characteristics which belong to tho groat revival which God has been carrying forward during the past year in America. 1 Dr. D wight, in January, adds: "Tli3 pious students, full of love and zeal, went forth among tho neighlioiing churches, to labor chiefly among church members. Ono of them went to Broosa, and wo learn from Mr. Barntun, who is there studying tho Turkish languago, thai a revival has actually com menced, tho church members being greatly stirred up to confess their sins and ptay, and somo among tho impenitent were awakened. A few already, it is hoped, hare given their hearts to tho Savior." A fow days later ho stales; "There was a wonderful revival going on horo among tho girls in a Jewish school, under the teaching oftho Freo Scotch Church missionaries. Twelve or moio Jewesses have been hope fully converted, and in a most remarkable manner. We have commenced a daily prayer meeting, held at noon, in a room in Vezir Khan, not 'ar from tho bazaars. Wo hope that many of our brethren, who aro in business, will be induced to attend." lie speaks of hopeful appoaraoco in Constantinople, and sends an account of spirited progtess in other places in that region. Kcv. J. Ball, Yozgat, January luth, 1S59, says: " Tho Lord i3 blessing us by His Spirit.and in our little community (about CO) there is scarcely ono that is not awakened. Thero havo been threo or four hopeful conversions within a few days. Tray for us." illSSCELLANKOUS. As Uncommon Suiipiiise Pabty.

Their donations equaled those they mado to their own pastor, a few eveings previous. Beforo they separated, both pastors united in a social worship, feeling that, though of different denominations, thoy were all ono in Jesus Christ. Another: At Ipswich, Mass.,cno stormy evening last week, tho door boll of tho Methodist parsonago was rung, when in individual was found at tho door, who, presenting small packngo, hastily withdrew.

Being iust then about to start from homo to 1 e -ono some ten or twelve days, this was almost ueccessarily delayed un' til my return. . You call my attention to a lottor in tho Dtinnor puipming to bo from C. F. Drake, d:ited Fort Scott, December, 1853, in which Mr. D. claims to givo a strictly true and impartial statement of tho troubles in Lin and Bourbon counties, and especially of the rclcnse of Ben. Bice fro7a prison in Fort Hcutt. Without casting any suspicion upon tho writer's motive, or integrity, farther that of par-tizan bias, and evident prcjudico, it is here humbly suggosted, that his account is in soue ro-fpects, defective from important oini.wonsi in other cases facts are distorted by exaggerations.Tho writer docs not toll, that tho releaso of Rice was discusstd and determined upon by a nearly two-tMrds vote in a largo public mooting hold somo days beforo tho release took place. It slipped his momory that the Fort I Scotters were told beforehand that nothing further than tho roleaso of Bice, whom the rescuers held to ba illegally and unjustly im prisoned, was intended. Tho reports of pro voking threats, on tho part of tho brve de fenders, of tho bloody work they were determined to make, in case a rescue was attempted. a-.i amongst thorn, that llico should die in his chains bofore he could be freed, was doubt-loss forgotten. And why wore the good readers oftho Banner not informed that those same Avkn&oricmiimonced thtfiring whilst concealed in tho store of Mr. Little, (whoso son was killed,) wcunding two of Iho rescuors before a Rhot was fired at tho houso? He also omits the fact that there were other stores in tho town of Fort Scott, from which thero was no tiring, which wero left unmolested. It is a wonder that men of such unexceptional principles, "armed sostrong in honesty,'' conscious of their own integrity and the righteousness of their cause, armed, organized and fortified as tho Fort Scotters wero, would suffer themselves to bo wholly ovor-powered by a few Jjruded wreUhct," such as tho writer calls tho re;uers; for the cow ardliness of such "degraded wm" has long since pawied into a proverb. Other men who stood listening to Mont gomery's remarks that morning in Fort Scott say they failed altogether in hearing tho lan guage whica tho writer attributes to him when he said "it was his intention and deter mination to drivo out of t!i e country, or kil an men who did not endorse Ins views. That he never would ba governed by any laws that aro passed by any one but himself." Montgomery certaiuly was oxeited when ho spoke tneso words. Although he is a roaarkably cool and smooth speakixg man, evon in the midst of danger, ho undoubtedly lost all self-possession just then. "It may do to tell tho marines," or poopla who depend upon the Banner fur information, that Montgomery has a company of ono hundred, or any other number of men, with whom hogoos about plundering, robbiug, murdering &c; but persons living here in tho county, where these things wero said to havo trans, pired, know that the story is untruo. Alont-gomery has had no band or company of men sinco tho oth of July, '58. The robbing ana driving off, last full and winter, was dono by six men, Montgomery ueiiig at nomo and about his own business all the while. This robbing aud driving off, was cuntmed to a lew pro-slavery men who had been driven off previously I'or their crimes, and a few others who professed either lice stata or pro slavery principles just as polr, lor the time being, sosmed to require, and who uudertook to say that all those obnoxious pro-slavery lueu might como back to live, ut tho samo tiiuo using every influence they could to coax them back, telling them thut they con,1 and would defeiul them. And farther that they wero determined to indict, convict and punish all who were engaged in driving off pro-slavery men tho previous whiter aud spring, notwithstanding tho Deuver Compromise, which provided i effect, that if the freo state boys would ceuso hostilities, and disband their companies, they should bo virtually par doned for what had thon already bceudonc,. in tho way or driving oil obnoxious pro-ilav- eryincn.

They wero all robbed, and only left by the pro slavery bounds when they t elieved them every one dead.

Poisons may and was succesded by undisturbed quiot un- bo mot, evon now, who when told of somo til tho latter part of Octobor, and might havo anti-slavery man having his house burned, his emainca so, but for tho attempt of a few demagogues and hungry lawyers who sought to bring back all the expelled pro-slavery men and drag tho free stato boys, who had sent inoin oil into the courts, whilst the pro-slav- cry villains, who carried on thoir woik of usuu'.'wn, robbery, nnrUcr and driving off of free state men hero in 54, '53. and '5tl. with tho plotters of election frauds in '57 and '53, and tho enactors in the more recent Demon, Hendricks and Trading Post tragedies, would all go aatU ficc. It was, (as has sinco came out,) very well understood in Western Missouri, that the object in coaxing back tho expelledpro-sluv-ery men and so many others ot Southern sentiments as could bo induced to come, was to swell tho numbers of the projected Djinocratie- slavcry party, so as to ba able to carry several ccuntus in Southern Kansas. Tho attempted assassination ot Montgomery in his own house, the finding of a few indictments in violation ol the spirit of the Compromise which procured peace in June, and in contravention ul the gist cf Judge Williams's charge to the Grand Juries, was to tho leaders of theDemocratic-co-slavery party, tho beginning of a greal wort; in prospect, which would probably give them party triumph and put themselves in placo and power, and by dextrous management, it might make a slave stato of Kansas after all. To get a correct id?a of Kansas troubles, even at the present time, it is always necccs-sary, to recur constantly to their origin. It is always to bo remembered, that previous to tha arrival of any settlers from the free statesi throats of violence against all anti-slavery men wore rife throughout Western Missouri. These threats wero shortly afterwards repeated in tha Territory. TLo pro-slavery party, then in tho Territory and in Western Missouri, took the extraordinary ground that anti-slavery men, slioull not settle here. This position and tho accompanying threats were not ilio mere rant of hot headed politicians, hut were the delibcralu and premeditated expressions of large and self-stlyed dignified public mcoUngs. During tho month of Juno, '51, loss than a month after tho repeal of the Missouri Cora-promise, tho Salt-Creek Valley Squatter's Association, formed ostensibly for the protection of sqtiattors, without which protection no settler could sustain himself, it was 'Resolved that wo will afford protection to no abolitionists as settlers of Kansas Ter." (See Report of the Investigating Committee, page 051.) The sama resolution was passed at Whitehead, K. T., Juno 24, '51"by a largo and enthusiastic public mooting," ibid, page 957. At tho town of Atchison, in a public mooting held July,'53, one of the resolutions reads: "liosolvod, that wo havo commenced tho good work of purging our town of all resident abolitionists, and after cleansing our town ol all such nuisances, we shall do the sama with tho settlers on Walnut and Imle-1 pendenco creeks, whoso propensities for cat-tlo stealing aro well kn jwn to many," ibd. paga 1)01. In a larga public meeting iu the city of L3avenworth, held May, '55, it was "Unsolved, that a vigilanco committee consisting of thirty members, shall now be appointed, who shall observo and report all such persons as shall openly act in violation of law and order, by the expression of abolition sentiments, produce disturbance to the quiet of tho cilizens or danger to their domestic relations, and all such persons so offending, shall ba notified and made to leave the territory." ibd, 0G1. Tho above, arc but samples of tho many resolutions passed both in the Territory and in Western Missouri during those throe years of usurpation and outrage. In Wcs- turn Missouri thero was not even tho hum-blest public dissent frcm such resolutions. No uno could there, eveu in private, with mUg, express any decided opposition tu tho will ol the majority, or utter any doubts of the jus-tico of the violent and tyrrnii-al measures everywhere employed to drivo off, and kept awiy, anti-slavery nieu. All this time, tho pro-slavery orators and pipers wero cngiged in puling forth violent abuse, denouncing all men who nnnn4ifl nN. I vory as eitlur knaves or villain?. Whilst such wero the public or open antecedents and ac companiments, of the usurpation and first violence in Kansas, mere was a numerous organization extending throughout Missouri to other slave States, and into tha Territory, having secrete oaths, signs, grips and passwords, possessing and wielding a lirgo amount of means, in men and woncy, professedly for the purpose of driving and lerpiug all anti-slavery men from tho Territory, and causing the samo lobe creeled into a slave Stato. It is, in a great degree, tho workings ol this secret organization, or more properly, conspiracy against the liberty of the people. that th first hostile assemblages and all arm ed invasions of tho Territory, are to hero-. for red. TIikso hostile assemblages and arm ed invasions carried elections by forcible, fraudulent voting, drove out hundreds of poor settlers simply because they were opposed to slavery; for the same reason they rubbed and burned houses, sacked towns, (iu tome in stances reducing AliOJ to ashes,) turning out woman and children to the mercies of the el ements in an almost unbroken wildenuss country. They can ied "away the domestic amimals, and took whatever money or valua 1859. team taken, or being shot dead, whilst pass ing the road, as tho case might bo, will ex claim, "whi. he ivat a d d alnHtionisl!'' , stcring with manifest astonishment, that any j ono could think it criminal to do any such i thing to thoso who deny the righteousness ol slavery. I Another instruir.ontalitr. no less umuu pulous aud far more potent than the Blue Lodges, grew out of tho invasion of March, 30, '53 viz, tho Bogus Legislature and its dependent; tho Lecompton Constitution. 'Jhe character of tho former may bj briefly told in tho word Usurpation, that of tho latter, in tho word Conspiracy. That l ho lloiis legislature was elected by men then living in Missouri was rr.riwe (. in part, of men who lived thuro at the time, havo over since, jnd do still livo there, are facts, which have been so often pioved are so well known here and in Missouri, that to cito evidence of litem now, would be stiiior- fluotis. It is equally notorious, that the do ings uf that usurping buJy, were in keeping with tho violent and villainous manner in which it was chosen. By its enactment every officer in tha Territory was either directly or indirectly appointed by itself, even down to a deputy constable. These appointments held over two caneial elections, l! challenged no one could voto without swearing to support the Fugitive Slave Bill, (Sec Bogus No. 1, page 33 J. No person cuuld practice as an attorney, or fill any ollicc whatever oftho Territory, without taking the j SiU1U) cxceptiomblo oath. No person could 'serve as ajuror whero their follow ciiizn ,fu3 arranged under tha famou-t slavo act, j unless ha would swear that he had no con scienoions scruples against holding shivcs,ibd. 132,332,330,510. This same slave act, punishes as felony.th,- simple act ot denial, either by speaking or I writing, of thereof persjns tohvld slave in this Territory, The penalty is imprisonment at hard labor for a term not less than two years. Iho same penalty is nflixed to! printing, writing, introducing into, orciicu lilting, either directly or indireclly, any pa per, magazine, rircular.pamphlet or bonk emi-tainingany denial of the right to hold si aves in this Territory, ibd. 717. This act, contains several other penalties equally unrenson-abloand cruel.thus taking away at ono sweep, tho liberty of speech, the freedom of the press, ard the right of a fair trial by jury, in addition to the act cilcd above which disfranchised a large numlier of conscientious citizens. The abovo aro hut samples from tho many cruel statutory provisions, and excessive penalties. It is worthy of nofo, that the pro-slavery party according to their men hawing, have carriod cvory election held in the Territory which they owned was legal or riyW, (except hat for township and county olluors last spring,) until tho Constitutional election hist. Aiiguts. After it bfcamo a little d ingorous for armed bands of Mis-ourians, to come ever here and voto, they hit upou another i xpedi-ent, that of returning falsa po'.l bonks, such as was returned from Oxford precinct in John- son Utility, Oct., '57, and that of tho Delaware Crossing Jan., -5-. Thin what they dared not attempt by force, they .sought lo accomplish by low cunning and prcjury. livery person conversant with Ilia public prints, is informed as to the very limited popular basis of tho intended Lecompton us-urpation.and how the voico ol the peoplo was kept down by trickery. Tho people of Kansas have not yet rurgoten the strenuous efforts made by tho Federal lix-cutivo and tho Representatives and Senators of his party in Congress to force that b.u e Lecompton plot upon us without a submission. When tho inhuman rebellion act, the "dious gag bill, and apprcssivo disfranchisement bill failed to cower and overcome the j spirit of freedom, it was then sought to un dermine and billlo it by a partial and fraudulent registration of tho votcrs.backed up by an endorsement of Congress, and the machination of a corrupt slavery serving President.Koine persons a.sk, why continue to oppose tho Slavery party in Kansas when vou have so often beaten them at the ballot box and ilh cartridge box? They will stwii give up the contest if they havo not already done so So preached tho samo wise-acres three years ago, yet we have had a continued scries of outrages and vtlu plots from that time to tho present, calculated to strike terror into the minority of the people oil the 0110 hand, and difcat their sovereign will upon the other.

That it is but little inoro than a year since a numbr' of citizens weio apprehended aod imprisoned in Fort Ssott, under the bloody rebellion act, for simply organizing themselves to protect theii ballot box, against a threatened raid from Mitsouii, in October, 1857. These plotter of wickedness aro still close upon our borders; doubtless their secret agents are iu our midst, wearing the garb &f freo atato men. Thf tools of tho Blua Lodges are not ill daad yet.
